Letter from Carver to Pammel, December 14, 1901

Dec. 14th, 1901
Dr. L. H. Pammel
Ames Iowa.
My dear Prof. Pammel,
The Sixteenth Announcement of the Iowa Academy of Sciences has just reached me. I have looked it over carefully and regret that I cannot be present at the meeting, as the subjects and the men who are to handle them are a sufficient evidence that the meeting is going to be a very profitable one. I am somewhat in arrears with the Academy, I do not know how much myself. Sometime ago I wrote the President concerning it but received no reply. I should be glad to clear up any arrears as soon as I am informed how much.
It is my plan to send you a small package of Fungi in the next few days, and I think you will find some of the things very interesting. I am quite well and presume am getting along as well as could be expected. I am yet collecting some but have only time to do this by little snatches here and there as I pass to and from my duties.
We are having just now one of the hardest rains of the seasons, in fact, I believe I have not witnessed a harder rain than is falling this minute this year. It is also accompanied by lightning and thunder. I wish to be remembered to Mrs. Pammel and the children. I am sending you under separate cover a copy of the Tuskegee Student, in which you may be slightly interested. I beg leave to remain,
Yours most truly,
Geo. W. Carver.
